AND IT BEGINS

Hi Allyes it begins, I have started my beach shop. Some time last year I got "The Cabin" I was just lurking on ebay, as you do, and there it was, no bids and for once it could be delivered, so I just had to have it, Why I do not know? I have room boxes, shops, caravans all waiting for my touch, so why did I think I needed another one? I think it is something to do with it being a bargain and I cannot miss a bargain.I am like that in my real life, if I see something on special offer, it has to be something I use, I get 2 03 of them, I have a secret stash under my bed of all sorts of things, but then we never run out of toilet paper!!!.Back to my beach shop, first I had better show you a picture

the Cabin

I took all the pieces out and made sure every thing was correct, it was.

the first thing I did was to remove the window panes I did not want to get paint on them, I could not remove the glass from the doors so I had to mask it up.

I needed to prime all the wood first, one side done, today the other side. picture below

I am also going to continue to make items for my shop, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to show you what I have made.

I feel pretty good, I have started on a project and started to clear through my stash.

I have told myself, until I have cleared a lot of my unfinished projects and stash, I will not start my big shop, and I know I said no more buying, I have had to get a couple of minis, but I justified this by telling myself its for my big shop and this will not be sold. Funny how I can easily find an excuse!!
